ASUS has helped establish digital learning centers in 50 countries and donated more than 30,000 pieces of information equipment.

After two years of changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global reliance on digital tools has become more profound, but also increases the level of the digital divide. Hence, the need to eliminate the digital divide has become more urgent. The National Digital Inclusion Alliance, which aims to eliminate the digital divide, defines digital inclusion as having five elements :
 

01

Affordable, powerful broadband Internet service

02

Network devices that meet the needs of users

03

Get digital literacy training

04

Quality IT technical support

05

Applications and online content designed to enable and encourage self sufficiency, participation, and collaboration

Through our digital inclusion program, ASUS expects that no one will lose the opportunity to learn about the world from digital resources because of differences in education, gender, and race. ASUS empowers digitally underprivileged communities through initiatives such as donations of refurbished computers, establishment of digital learning centers, digital training programs, international volunteer program, Digital Happy Learning Camp, “Heartfelt 99” project, so that everyone can receive hardware resources support and digital education resources to connect with the world.

​Refurbished Computer and Digital Training Program

To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools. The first step to shorten the digital divide is to provide information facilities to the resource-poor communities. After the computers are returned to ASUS foundation and refurbished, ASUS donates the used computers to the underprivileged who lack technological equipment through the ASUS Foundation's "Refurbished Computer Digital Training Program," which gives the used computers a new life by installing reusable components and software updates and expands the social impact of the reverse logistics of refurbished computer.

To address the urban-rural digital divide, the ASUS Foundation has participated in the "Indigenous Communities Digital Care" refurbished computer donation program since 2019. In partnership with the Institute for Information Industry, the Foundation established a cooperation model to continuously support rural education and community digital infrastructure.

In 2025, ASUS deployed 120 refurbished computers in Zhongpu, Liujiao, and Dongshi in Chiayi County to support local schools and community sites in building digital learning environments. Since the program began, cumulative donations have exceeded 1,000 devices, gradually improving the accessibility of digital learning and technological application capabilities in indigenous areas. The program also incorporates circular economy concepts by extending product life cycles through equipment recycling, refurbishment, and reuse. It expands educational resources while reducing the environmental impact of electronic waste, balancing environmental sustainability with social value creation. 

Digital Learning Centers

Since 2009, with support from the APEC Digital Opportunity Center (ADOC) and Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ASUS Foundation has participated in the APEC ADOC 2.0 project, helping local nonprofit organizations in ADOC member economies and Taiwan's diplomatic allies establish digital learning centers. In 2015, the project was renamed the Taiwan Digital Opportunity Center (TDOC). It continues to combine the strengths of government and private enterprises to share Taiwan's care and resources with rural or disadvantaged groups around the world, helping local disadvantaged children and nonprofit organizations enhance their digital capabilities.
